The University of Washington School of Medicine and Gonzaga University Health Partnership is committed to advancing health related research, entrepreneurship and interprofessional health sciences teaching in Spokane. Thanks to the generosity of Dean and Vicki Allen, through the McKinstry Fellows Research Program we have funding to support interdisciplinary and/or interprofessional research teams consisting of students and faculty mentors as they tackle probing health-related questions that are affecting society today.
